"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Clause. He exists as certainly as love and devotion and generosity, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Clause! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias."

The New York Sun, 1897.

Before the Event, and for more than a decade after, the famous answer to young Virginia O'Hanlon's question was a metaphorical truth. Not anymore.

Santa Clause has come to town. Every town. And in the wake of his first world-spanning ride, governments and researchers are scrambling to find out what it means. Is he a new Omega Class breakthrough? If he is, what are the limits of his potential? And can that potential be missused? The heroes will soon find themselves involved in what may well be a quest to save Christmas.

Wearing the Cape: Operation Pole Star is a 12-page Christmas adventure by Marion G. Harmon, writer of the Wearing the Cape series and RPG. It is written for Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game, but is compatible with Fate Core and most other Fate-system offerings with a little tinkering.

Because supervillains don't just rob banks anymore.
